## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, civilian casualties and displacement in southern Lebanon are likely to climb modestly as renewed Israeli strikes undermine the ceasefire and encourage preemptive population movements away from border zones. Local medical facilities and basic infrastructure, already fragile, will face higher demand and potential power or supply disruptions. Confirmation would be new casualty and displacement figures, plus images of cross-border evacuations; a sudden reinforced monitoring mechanism or internationally brokered recommitment to the ceasefire would dampen but not erase these humanitarian pressures.

## Drivers

- Reports describing Israeli attacks as fresh ceasefire violations with rising death toll
- CENTCOM assessment noting ongoing Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon
- Historical pattern of rapid civilian displacement in response to renewed airstrikes
